About This Listing

17” scale length, custom built in the USA, professional level, tenor banjo-ukulele hybrid (banjolele).

Larger than standard 10” diameter rim which imparts a much richer tone than your traditional 6" banjolele.

Consequentially, these look much more like a standard sized traditional open backed banjo.

They utilize re-entrant gcea ukulele tuning. Therefore, they are very easy to learn to play and if you happen to know chords on a guitar or uke, you already know how to play this.

Precision cut and hand crafted, solid sycamore block rim with hard maple neck and figured maple peghead overlay.

Gotoh UPTL planetary geared tuners with rounded black buttons.

Beautiful master grade rosewood fingerboard with synthetic side dot position markers. 

Upgraded Remo fiberskyn head which imparts a slightly warmer tone which works beautifully with the sycamore’s tonal qualities.

All banjo hardware is of the highest quality and made in the USA & Canada.

Traditional nylon GHS artist series ukulele strings.

Nice action and amazing playability.

This has a beautiful clear and balanced yet slightly warmer banjo tone with outstanding volume and projection. The 1 1/4" nut width makes it comfortable to fret for most hand sizes. This instrument has a beautiful pleasing tone (and appearance) and is a lot of fun to play! Ready for the stage, studio or your next jam session!
